Where to get non-reman (or quality) front calipers
This will be the third set of lifetime swap front calipers on my truck. Does anyone know where I can find quality calipers where I do not have to worry the guy rebuilding them had a hangover that day?
This is really frustrating having to go through this process yet again. The problem is they are leaking.
Any links, places to look, etc would be appreciated.

I did not see a listing for the bolt on calipers. I have a '94 D60 under my truck and they have listing. Maybe if you do an indepth search, they might have one.
